Gas Safety In Your Wigan Home

Anyone who has gas appliances in their house must be aware of the risks of unsafe gas work. Here are some of our tips for gas safety in your Wigan home.

Gas Safety In Your Wigan Home – Have gas appliances checked regularly

Do you know when the gas appliances in your home were last checked for gas safety? Gas appliances have to be safety checked annually and serviced on a regular basis by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If not, they could be dangerous and may be putting your family at risk.

Are You Having a New Appliance Fitted?

When selecting a new gas appliance, you have to make sure that it is suitable for your home. A Gas Safe Registered Engineer can help with this, and also make sure that it is fitted in a safe manner.

Buying a New Home?

There are so many things to worry about when buying a new house and so gas safety might not be at the top of your list. You need to know what to look out for and should ask a qualified engineer to check the property for gas safety before moving in.

Defect Stickers

When an engineer identifies a gas related danger, they attach a “Danger Do Not Use” warning label to the gas fitting and issue a warning notice. You must never ignore these and must always comply with any instructions.

Making Home Improvements?

If you are making home improvements, then it can be tempting to try and save money by doing work yourself. However, if you are working on gas appliances without being qualified, you could be putting your family’s lives at risk. Unsafe gas appliances put lives in danger. If in doubt, ask an expert for advice. L&W Heating and Plumbing are Gas Safe Registered Experts for Wigan, Warrington, Newton and St Helens.
